Marybeth Dyson is a table-setter with extra-base pop for Eastern Illinois
In the 2026 season, Marybeth Dyson has been one of Eastern Illinois’ most reliable bats, hitting .296 with a .702 OPS while appearing in 60 games, and she’s flashed value beyond the box score with 35 hits, 12 doubles, 18 RBIs, and 4 stolen bases. She was also hitting over .300 early in the year and had a five-game active hitting streak/reached-base streak stretch, which speaks to consistency and pressure-free at-bats. Add in her ability to play center field and deliver timely, gap-to-gap contact, and she looks like a smart, high-energy fit for a team that wants speed, stability, and a gritty leadoff-style spark.
